Sorting Errors?

[tafk]

I found a few sort errors when inspecting my collection on the site today they are listed as follows.

ROTK series
 - For me IX is listed before VIII, I understand this is because of alphabetical sorting however it would be nice if there was a way to recognize roman numerals, just a thought.

Sly Cooper Series

Sly 1 is listed after Sly 2 and 3 because Sly 1 doesn't have a number in its name, another problem similar to above and I dont know how to fix it but i just thought i'd bring it to attention, maybe use sorting characters that aren't visible? I dont know.

I'm not sure if there is anything we can do about these. The database engine we use sorts 0-9 and then A-Z and treats all characters by the same.

Is there any way to sort it by a hidden character or alternate name and maybe use numbers in the place of roman numerals for those ones? Just an idea if possible, I know I'm probably not the only one this bugs, obviously this is such a small bug on the website but it's really the only one that has bugged me.

We could definitely sort on an alt-name but that would require an alt-name to set on all 60,000+ items. I can look into it a bit more but won't make any promises. I'm just glad that this is the ONLY bug that bothered you.

Definitely understandable that it's wayyy on the back burner unless someone comes up with a clever solution. Hey if you need a database monkey to copy names over I'm sure a few of us would be willing
